A Scoping Review of Treatment Outcome Measures for Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia.

Objective: The goal of this study is to identify a list of clinician-reported outcome measures (CROMs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) through a review of published studies reporting on any therapeutic interventions for vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN).

Materials And Methods: A systematic search of published studies reporting on any therapeutic interventions for VIN was performed on MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Database, PsychInfo, and CINAHL from inception to September 20, 2021, based on predetermined study selection criteria. Data were extracted and analyzed by 2 authors independently using Covidence software.

Pain Characteristics, Psychosocial Wellbeing, and Sexual Wellbeing of Women Diagnosed With Provoked Vestibulodynia and a History of Sexual Abuse.

Objective: Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a common chronic pain condition characterized by pain at the vulvar vestibule elicited by touch. Both PVD and sexual abuse lead to negative psychosocial and sexual consequences. However, little is known about the wellbeing of women with PVD and a history of sexual abuse.

A Qualitative Exploration of Women's Experiences of Living With Chronic Vulvar Dermatoses.

Background: Many vulvar dermatoses (VDs) are chronic and cannot be "cured," thus affected women must learn to live with the impact of the disease, and its treatment, on their quality of life.

Aim: To qualitatively investigate the impact of VDs on women's quality of life through firsthand accounts.

Methods: 12 women, 7 with lichen sclerosus and 5 with erosive vulvovaginal lichen planus recruited from a vulvar disease clinic participated in in-depth, exploratory interviews.

Phenotyping Sexual Pain in Endometriosis Using the Central Sensitization Inventory.

Introduction: Deep dyspareunia, a common symptom in endometriosis, has previously been associated with bladder and/or pelvic floor tenderness (BPFT), which suggests a role for central nervous system sensitization. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI, 0-100) is a validated self-reported scale for patients with central sensitization.

Aim: The objective of this study was to phenotype deep dyspareunia using BPFT and the CSI.

Provoked Vestibulodynia in Women with Pelvic Pain.

Introduction: Pelvic pain and vulvar pain are common conditions in women. In this study, we sought to characterize the clinical picture of patients with concurrent pelvic pain and provoked vestibulodynia (PVD).

Aim: To analyze the association between sexual/clinical characteristics and a diagnosis of PVD among women with pelvic pain.

Multidisciplinary Treatment for Provoked Vestibulodynia: Treatment Trajectories, Predictors, and Moderators of Sexual Distress and Pain.

Objectives: Multidisciplinary treatment programs for provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) are recommended, yet few have been evaluated. This study examined women's symptom trajectories over time, as well as baseline demographic, psychosocial and pain characteristics as predictors/ moderators of sexual pain and distress following treatment at a clinic using multidisciplinary concurrent methods. We also examined the impact of baseline variables on the probability of having low sexual distress scores following treatment.

Fact or Fiction? Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus.

Objective: The aim of the study was to summarize and review the evidence for the efficacy and safety of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS).

Materials And Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Ovid, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.gov were searched from inception up to May 7, 2018.

Deep Dyspareunia in Endometriosis: Role of the Bladder and Pelvic Floor.

Introduction: The etiology of endometriosis-associated deep dyspareunia may include direct endometriosis-specific factors (eg, stage or invasiveness of disease) and/or indirect contributors such as bladder/pelvic floor dysfunction (eg, related to myofascial mechanisms or nervous system sensitization).

Aim: This study aimed to determine whether bladder/pelvic floor tenderness and painful bladder syndrome were associated with severity of deep dyspareunia in women with endometriosis, regardless of Stage (I/II vs III/IV) or other endometriosis-specific factors.

Methods: Observational study from a prospective patient registry (January 2014 to December 2016) at a tertiary centre for endometriosis.

Systematic Review of Treatment Outcome Measures for Vulvodynia.

Objectives Of The Study: To systematically evaluate the literature regarding vulvodynia treatment outcome measures.

Methods: A systematic literature search on OVID, PubMed, and PsycINFO databases was conducted from inception until May 2016. Studies were included/excluded based on prespecified criteria.
